With You I Feel House — Zine Workshop

Tania Perez, artist, author and illustrator, works from photographic archives to explore projection, absence and the meaning of home. Her practice blends image-making, text and archival research.

The workshop guides participants through composing a short zine around the phrase ‘With you I feel House’, using typewriter, drawing tools and photographic materials. Perez examines themes of belonging and absence while participants practice layout, collage and photocopy-based reproduction, and discover strategies for narrative and visual experimentation.
